Ahmed Musa believes Leicester City can win the Premier League again after joining the reigning champions for a club-record £16m from CSKA Moscow.

The 23-year-old is expected to link up with England striker Jamie Vardy in a new-look forward-line as Claudio Ranieri, the Leicester manager, restructures his title-winning squad ahead of their Champions League debut this season.

N’Golo Kanté left for five-time champions Chelsea on Saturday in a deal worth in the region of £30m while speculation is rife that Riyad Mahrez could be set to depart the East Midlands before the Community Shield clash with Manchester United on 7 August.

But Musa, speaking to The Sun at Leicester’s pre-season camp in Austria, said: “I am very happy to be joining now. My target here is to win the league again and I believe we can.

“I think the secret behind City’s success is everyone is focused and happy with each other. I started my first session and I was like ‘wow’. Because I have never seen that intensity and tackles flying in Russia. But now I am getting used to it - even Marcin Wasilewski.”

Leicester have acted quickly in the transfer window, wrapping up deals for Musa, Nampalys Mendy (£13m), Ron-Robert Zieler (£2.3m) and Luis Hernández (free) before Kanté's departure this weekend.

The Foxes travel to Oxford United for their first pre-season friendly tomorrow night before embarking on trips to Glasgow, Los Angeles and Stockholm to face Celtic, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona in the International Champions Cup.
